I am happy to announce that Falls Church City Television will be holding two production workshops in the month of July. This is a great opportunity to obtain the skills necessary for producing programming at FCC-TV, whether it is for yourself or for those interested in helping you produce your program.

The first workshop will be for Studio Production and will take place on Saturday, July 24th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The second workshop will be for Field Production and will be on Saturday, July 31st from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. as well.

The Studio Production workshop will feature a basic overview of television production in a studio setting. Subjects include: lighting; studio camera operation; audio; directing; technical directing; and on-air talent.

The Field Production workshop will feature a basic overview of television production in remote locations. Subjects include: lighting in the field; audio; field camera operation; on-camera reporting; storytelling; and tripod use.

There are a limited number of spaces for each workshop. Should there be enough interest, however, we will schedule more workshops in August.

There are also a few changes to the workshops that you will need to take note of.

First, the fee for the workshops has increased to $50 for members and $60 for non-members. We accept cash and/or checks made out to FCCAC (Falls Church Cable Access Corporation).

Second, fees will be due when you sign up for the workshop. Spots cannot be held for individuals until they have paid the appropriate fee.

If you have any questions, you can email me (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) or call me (703-248-5692) anytime. I happy to answer any and all questions.

Feel free to pass this information along to friends and neighbors. And I look forward to your help in making FCC-TV grow.

On Tuesday, April 20th, the League of Women Voters held a candidate forum at Falls Church City Hall. This forum was provided to the public as an opportunity to hear from the individuals running for seats on the Falls Church City Council. This event aired live on FCC-TV, but if you missed it you are in luck.

Repeats of the forum will air on the station leading up to election day. However, if you just can't wait, click here for archived version online.

Snow removal crews have been able to widen the Leesburg Pike entrance to Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School, so the traffic pattern restrictions imposed yesterday have been lifted. You may now use the Leesburg Pike entrance. However, please remember that it is illegal to turn right from Leesburg Pike into that entrance as indicated by the posted traffic sign. This restriction was imposed by the Virginia Department of Transportation in 2005 for safety reasons.

Also, please be advised that all after school and evening activities scheduled for tonight will go on as scheduled.

This is just a friendly reminder that there will be no early dismissal tomorrow at Mount Daniel Elementary, Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Mary Ellen Henderson Middle and George Mason High School. Instead, Wednesday’s dismissal schedule will be as follows:

Mount Daniel and TJ: 3:30 p.m.
MEH: 2:30 p.m.
GMHS: 3:00 p.m.

The adjustment is being made to make up for instructional time lost to snow days.

Memorial services for Richard Marsh will be held in the GMHS Auditorium from 2-5pm this Sunday, 11/20/11. FCCTV had planned on broadcasting these services, but due to technical difficulties, this will not be possible. We appologize for any problems this may have caused.
